I was departing the nearby Oak Valley Park North when I spotted this nearby community book box…read more It's hard to miss, painted in bright yellow with pink and blue and then white shutters on the front on a baby blue stand. Very cool, folks! Very cool. Inside, two stuffed shelves with mostly hardcovers and thrillers on the top and children's and young adult on the bottle. Lots of good stuff here and I was happy to add a couple of my own paperbacks to the collection as I'm trying to reduce my own home library just a litttle. This box is apparently not part of the Little Free Library system and doesn't need to be. It's perfectly fine by itself. Thanks! [Review 16030 overall - 217 in Texas - 1535 of 2021.]

Inside, two wide shelves that are also deep enough for many of the books to be double deep. Mostly paperbacks because those fit best. I was able to add my three from my own library that I'm working to cut back and I didn't take anything with me today. This is charter 111107 and has the title "Glenn's Little Free Library." The online caption reads, "In Memory of Glenn Myers. For the love of books." [Review 16016 overall - 204 in Texas - 1521 of 2021.]

As I was leaving White Rock Lake Park, this library caught my eye.

Painted a mint green with a wooden roof and wooden door that has a single clear panel, the library is quite full. I was able to add a couple of paperbacks to the collection as I am reducing the size of my own home library. I also grabbed a book to read today, Alex Trebek's biography that is now back into circulation. This is charter number 61091 and the online caption reads, "I have been enamored with the idea of the Little Free Library ever since I saw one for the first time while jogging in Tyler, TX. I said to myself "What IS this magic?!" Years later, I am finally the proud librarian of my very own Little Free Library. Fully stocked and ready for sharing. Let the adventure begin!"

Located in Alvarado's Carver Park, this red painted box is under the picnic pavilion and is easily…read moreaccessible. Hard to miss as it is painted a farm barn red with yellow trim and stands on a yellow post. It looks like there might once have been a plexiglass window but that's gone. The door is secured by a latch. As it's is here in the picnic area, it should be mostly okay from the elements. Three shelves inside, divided into Adult, Teen and Kids. Unfortunately, it's just a big jumble today. But free books are free books and that makes it A-OK. There is parking in the park and there are picnic tables nearby if you'd like to sit and read.

The box has a single door with a clear panel secured by a twist lock. The inside was stuffed with all sorts of interesting books including children's, reference and non-fiction. I was tempted by The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires but opted to leave it for the next patron. This is charter 128994 and there is no steward listed on the website. The caption reads, "Although the pond area is only for Mistletoe Hill Residents, the book box is located outside of the fence and is open for anyone to enjoy!"
